You both must have a problem with the Lanolin, the soap is very rich in lanolin, that's where it gets it's slip, even though it's a natural product it doesn't agree with everyone, Lanolin intolerance is fairly common. Jamie.

Friday Schick Eversharp Hydro Magic Personna platinum chrome (day 1) Vulfix best badger travel brush (day 1825) Godrej Menthol Mist TSD Iced Eucalyptus WH Floid Blue It's been a while since I used the Hydro Magic. Compared to all my DE razors I need to use even less pressure with the Schicks or they'll bite. Second day for the Menthol Mist: still not the best smelling soap or cream in my den, but the really great lather and cooling effect make up for that. DFS.
Oh oh, I just bought a puck of WMF to be able to join in next week WMF theme. Hopefully I can tolerate the lanolin, a few years back I gave my Musgo Real cream to my brother because my skin got very very upset from that cream. And there's a lot of lanolin in that one, too.....

Jamie, the funny thing is the Godrej creams, Musgo Real cream and Lavanda cream also have lanolin, and they're very comfortable to my skin, so I don't know what to say. I do agree with you, however.
Friday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 3 Ice Cool SC Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash Obsession For Men EDT Guys, I'm not joking, this cream is really called Ice Cool. It's from Bangladesh, and it's used in many barbershops over there. It's a lovely cream with a very nice lemony/minty scent, a tremendous, explosive lather, and a strong menthol effect. Talking about a menthol effect, the Alcolado Glacial felt brrrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful!
Now I'm confused... Musgo Real irritated my skin, but the Godrej doesn't, so perhaps it wasn't the lanolin in the Musgo after all. Hopefully this means I'll be okay with MWF.

Friday, February 17 EJ DE86 Polsilver (d2) Tabac SS, Rooney Stubby 2XL TSD Tabac Type A/S Almost a BBS again, but could not get a couple stubborn spots on the neck and jawline. I find this often happens the day after a great BBS. There just wasn't much stubble to whack, and what was there was stubborn.

The Vetiver in the Musgo may be the source if your irritation, I am no expert though. Musgo irritates my skin too.
